Neoclassical Interior Of Nikolaikirche In Leipzig Editorial Image

Leipzig, Germany – April 8, 2016. Neoclassical interior of Nikolaikirche in Leipzig, with palm-like pillars and cream-coloured pews. View toward the main altar, with people. The church is famous for playing a key role in the nonviolent movement that led to the downfall of the East German government. As early as 1982 it hosted `peace prayers` every Monday, which over time inspired and empowered local citizens to confront the injustices plaguing their country.
